i'm all for this man!! i'd love to see a documentary on the SID and Bob Yannes and even the technology that was out at the same time in competition for various micro-computers etc... keep us posted!
Haha cool! It wont be as great as that im afraid, more of a breakdown of the features of the chip,
and the history will be of what i can piece together from wikipedia, and that in depth SID page!
I wont be flying over to Mr. Yannes to interview him unfortuneatly!
But hey at least its a start, maybe it will inspire someone to do a professional docu on the sid or something!

You need to get yourself a "7-pin DIN Socket".
I cant seem to find ones that mount onto PCBs, the ones like the original c64 socket.
all im finding are the Chasis Mount ones.
You will have to solder wires from the connector to the PCB, if you cannot find a PCB mount socket.
This is what it looks like, make sure the holes are in the same position:

I was just about to ask you a silly question Nils,
Re: why a 5x addon board instead of a 4x?
But obviously in this case you would not use 2 midi sockets on the GM5 PCB right?
And by other sizes you meant a 4X, and possibly an 10X for use with 2 GM5 pcbs?
-
it's great! you can watch it here. although, the SID only really does get "mentioned" and there is no background on the SID. it's more like a name drop.
Aha! Thanks for the link buhler! ;D
How can you have an 8-bit documentary without giving
the best 8-bit analogue synth chip ever made, a proper tribute!
I guess the Nintendo Famicon being more widely known today has a lot to do with it!
I think its time to show the world the power of sid!
-
They also have a full documentary up from last year called "Video Games Live"
-
Is it possible that some of these patches use Mixed Waveforms?
Have you tried playing the oscillators without using patches, just by say playing the standard waveforms via midi?
This is most likely not the case but one possible reason nonetheless.

I found this while i was searching for a documentary on the Sid Chip, to see if such a thing existed,
I've been thinking of doing one myself the last few weeks
- well more of "a history of" the sid chip, and an informative technical demo of the synthesis capabilities of the chip,
to educate people what it is and what it can do. If anyone is doing something similar or interested in helping out in any way,
sure get in contact. Im not working or in college so have plenty of spare time on my hands. :P
According to wikipedia the sid gets a mention in this docutmentary:

Has anyone seen this documentary? Yatagatsu in paticular? It was showcased in texas this year.
At the moment only the trailer and 3 clips have been released.

They speak about a guy from germany who builds a PCI Interface Card to connect the C64 with a PC. No word about a SID in this video.
With this card (so the video) you can connect the C64 with a PC. No further information, what the card is....
They also speak about games for the C64 you can download from the internet and when you have this card in your PC you can play them.
greets
Doc
Thanks man. I thought i spotted a MOS chip on the PC card, but maybe it was just a MOS processor, or not a mos at all.
Must look into it.

They put a c64 on sale for 350 in a modern computer store lol!
Id love to be able to understand what is been said but theres some really old c64 footage which makes it worth watching!
Can anyone explain what red PCBs are been built towards the end?
Theres like a PCI card with what appears to be a sid chip, so im guessing either a reduced version of the c64 in pci form?
Or maybe hardsid? ???

d00dz, how about this for make the ableton live controller?
seemz goodz 2 me...

Forgive my friench, but holy fuck! :o

Forgive me for not quoting this before i posted: :P
Bah cut him some slack... it's kinda like 'studio advice in 20 words or less'... In 20 words or less I dunno if any of us could do a lot better ;)
The reason its 20 words or less is he because he keeps getitng mixed up and stalling! LOL
-
Ah come on strydy, lets get realistic. The guy doesnt have a clue about half the the stuff hes talking about.
He seems to be really stoned or something.
Did you watch the computer one?

"2.8 Gigabytes, i mean Mhz!"
LOL
I love the way it cuts on "ummmmm!" too lmao.

This guys vids are halarious!
You just have to watch them all!

"Expert village" my ass! ;D

well i did it individually each one and it gone pretty well; but to ensure it i passed with desoldering wick and removed anything i didn't like.
i used very thin (hmm.. 0.1mm i think? have to check it out later at home) solder and a magnifying glass.
Sorry i just coudnt resist. :-[
I'm in a strange mood
-
Don't think your snything special, I got the flowers with mine too!
Like a knife through my heart! :'(
So goblinz, why didnt you send me any pretty stamps for that knobs order? :(
Haha and i love the way you managed to sneak in "synth" to that sentance!
-
I recieved mine today, with the most beautiful orchid flowers i have ever seen, stamped on the front of the package.
I think Thorsten is coming onto me you guys! ;) :-*
Thanks very much TK. :)
-
I did exactly what frailin did, and it is the safest way to go.
I was using stripoard so what i did is stick the Probes in the next hole up from the soldered joint.
Its safer this way so that the probe doesnt slide off the solder blob and end up hitting the wrong pin and creating a short.
My c64c transformer had the exact same pin out as the most popular pinout fortuneatly enough.

You want a PIC. And you want the correct one. You've gotten enough hints in the chat to figure out which one that is ;)
Nils likes to eat PICs for his tea, buy now before he eats them all!
-
That is fantastic! It's almost got an arcade vibe to it.
I was thinking the exact same.
The colours reminded me of the project mame cabinet for some reason:
And i think the font used is very arcade also.
-
FILTH!!! ;D
-
Back to topic - it's show time again! ;-)
LOL, i was just thinking of posting that again haha.
-
Those are maybe my favourite knobs ever, I almost bought those... But they just didn't match with the colour scheme I wanted, nor the milspec rating I was after at the time.
Those look like they have really excellent grip!
Goblinz those albs knobs are by far the prettiest ones ive ever seen i have to say.
Shame they dont produce them with more colours!
-
Nice vid.
I particularly liked the way you checked for coninuinity between a lot of the points.
I wouldnt have thought of this, seems to be better to detect a problem before its finished,
rather than spend a longer time trying to diagnose one.

I would also be interested, provided i have money left over from the other mb-6582 stuff.
So im a maybe for now!
